G'day all,

I'm definitely an excel novice. I'm trying to automate a report sheet for me to use at work and cant seem to get the final stage of my formula to work.

What my worksheet does is reference an auto generated worksheet of "learnings" and only shows the ones I'm interested in. This auto generated one also changes its layout occasionally so instead of manually changing the addresses in the formula I'm trying to make it do this for me.

This is how I currently display the data in my sheet:

=IF(ISBLANK('[Training_Matrix_Summary.xlsx]Training Matrix Summary'!$EB$12:$EB$115),"-",'[Training_Matrix_Summary.xlsx]Training Matrix Summary'!$EB$12:$EB$115)

What I'm trying to do:

1. Locate learning title and return address
=CELL("address",INDEX('[Training_Matrix_Summary.xlsx]Training Matrix Summary'!A$10:XV$10,MATCH(B2,'[Training_Matrix_Summary.xlsx]Training Matrix Summary'!A$10:XV$10,0)))

2. Extract heading address
=RIGHT(B3,LEN(B3)-SEARCH("!",B3))

3. Convert heading column to date column
=MID(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN(INDIRECT(B3&"1"))+1),2,FIND("$",ADDRESS(1,COLUMN(INDIRECT(B3&"1"))+1),2)-2)

4. Somehow get the new address (its just letters "XY") into my formula to display the correct information.
This is the part I'm stuck on....

I'm currently at my desk on night shift and have been trying to work this out for the last few hours... Its a slow night. If you know of a better way to go about this any help is greatly appreciated!
